I can see the time of day and the time going to bed mattering if it places the reading at a particular moment in a breaking news event. The reading would have been cast at a moment when certain information was known, but not other information, and that could make a difference in how Yi answers it.
If that's what Moss Elk had in mind then I understand completely. If Moss meant something else, then I also would appreciate more explanation. [MENTION=13617]Moss Elk[/MENTION] - ?
Svenrus was thinking /concerned/ worried about this matter (that he has no real vested interest in.) 30 minutes before his usual bed time. (This is a time that is best used to relax before sleeping.) He asked Yi a question about the matter and Yi told him to give it a rest. Looks pretty simple and obvious to me.
On the other hand I'm really not sure I agree that Yi was telling Yi to go to bed. I mean, unless there was some hugely overriding reason for Sven not to stay up a few minutes longer that day...it seems weird for that to be Yi's answer, I think. Not impossible, just odd.
Actually I think I did wonder in an earlier post if 17 meant "you'll find out the cause in due course." Which isn't completely different from "go to bed" - ack - if you combine "find out in due course" with the Image you could get "go to bed and wait for the reporters to tell you" - okay, could be, I withdraw my objection lol
Actually, my first thought, when reading Moss Elk's comment, was Moss Elk joking but as I'm not in friendly connection with M.E. and thereby not sure about that.
Right, when you get an unchanging hex,You're looking at 17's Image - okay,
Hi all,
I'm sorry for having caused some mess here. I can now see that the "Why ?" should had been a "How ?" as the "Why ?" surely implements questions of higher/ or deeper levels. My wondering when I heard the news that evening was simply: How could that happen ?
Hex. 17 could be - as Moss Elk mention - a reaction to a whole other issue than Notre Dame but this is a discussion about my personal ability to consult I Ching... Good night for now.
And yes, the answer to me wasn't this first line but: A house damaged ???
Moss Elk
Why are you reading line 1?
You didn't get line 1.
You got 17 unchanging
Agreed. There are (to list a few): what Hilary teaches in Foundations -- trigrams a la Harmen Mesker -- Plum Blossom/Nanjing/etc. (am clueless, those probably aren't even the right names) -- transitional hexagrams -- rules which reduce multiple moving lines to one -- etc. etc. etc.At the risk of starting the insurrection, I suggest there are multiple ways to consult the I Ching.
Theoretically, an explanation for what Sven did might be that Yi really did mean line 1, but didn't mean the relating hexagram that goes along with it (45, in this case).
